All that this deponent has stated is, well known to be true by all who knew him from 1823 to 1834, it was of public notoriety.

Sir
On a review of the papers in a certain case recently, a pension was granted, without any additional proof, this was just as it should have been in the first instance.
In yours of the 29th Oct 1849 in the case of Marshall Dixon of Pa, you require still more proof of the day of his death, as in the case above alluded to, a re-exam in which the proof, will satisfy you of the sufficiency of the proof upon that point; what more do you want, than the affidavit of the furnisher of the Coffin, with his data, & the proof of a female who was confined on that day, & the birth of her child then recorded agreeing with the Undertaker, and you have the Certificate of the Surrogate or Court that they were satisfied as to the date being proven &c &c I ask a re-view of the proof now on file, & in asking it, I only claim what the proof merits

Sir
Yours of the 5th I have recd. As you do not seem to understand the purport of the proof that I mailed to you March 25th last in the case of Marshall Dixon I beg leave to explain it
Marshall Dixon was an Invalid Pensioner of New York, drew his pension till about 1823 when he became Insane, non compos, he remained in this state of imbecility till 1834 when he died, his invalidity continued, but he was not capable of undergoing the Surgeons examination, or of executing his power of atty
The proof that I mailed March 25th last, was all relating to his imbecility &c &c - Your files I trust of the 29th March, or 28th, or 30th will shew the recd of this proof
Will you please to examine your files of letters recd. & report on the case without delay

I inclose ample proof of the imbecility of Marshall Dixon an invalid pensioner of the United States, & who recd his last payment of pension Sept 1823 (as I believe)
It would seem that as early as 1823 he had lost his reason, & was non compos, incapable of undergoing the examination of surgeons, had as I believe destroyed his pension certificate, was (I believe) a short time in an insane Asylum in New Jersey, but the family preferred to take the care of him, probably from an inability to pay the expense
The children have recd. a small revolutionary pension of Pa - You will please notice from the papers on file that Hugh Dixon was duly appointed Administrator, I particularly wish the Pension Certificate to be issued to him as administrator, & not to the four children - I am this as a great favor to them & if the papers on file are not sufficient to authorize you to do so, please inform me what they lack, & we will try & supply it

Recd Feb 2/53

Marshall Dixon Revolutionary Invalid pension of New York at $24. - drew his pension up to Sept 1823 as I suppose, then taken insane & rema- -ined so till he died in 1834 - remained also an invalid as it appears from the proof till he died
Having been wounded some 50 years, when taken insane in 1823, when he underwent no further examinations, but can it be supposed that a wound & invalidity borne for 40 or 50 years would ever bear & the invalid be well, & free from his invalidity - Possibly the law giving him a pension, did not require the examin- -ation - He lived many years after the restrict- -ion was taken off, & when he could have drawn his pension without this examination
The Am t . that he has rec d . - shown at the 3 d Auditor, will give an idea as to when he was placed on the pension roll

In reply to your letter of the 9 th inst. I have to state, that it appears from the books of this Office that the pension of Marshall Dison has been paid from 4 th March 1789 to 23 rd April 1816. at $2 per month. & from the latter period, to 4 th September 1823. at $3.20 per month. after which the pensioner is noted "dead." There appears to have been no "suspension" of the pension, on the contrary, after the examination by Judges, a copy of whose certificate is enclosed. The pensioner would have been entitled to his pension for 18 months longer, had he lived.

without further examination He is presumed to have died between September 1823. & March 1824. as he was regu- larly drew his pension semi- annually to September 1823. Any arrears here in this case will be paid through this Office upon a proper application.

Dear Sir
At third Auditon I am Mr. Marshall informed —, that as Dixon survived far beyond the end of the 2 years, the extent of his examination, he was drop d from the roll as if dead, and cannot be considered as having remained a pensioner, & therefore nothing can be paid at the 3 d Auditon, short of a new pension certificate, recognizing Marshall Dixon as a pensioner, of the correctness of such pension certificate is the only question I suppose to be settled in this case.
Please report result to me at Pvid New York
